The "one ad/one pamphlet" concept is a horrible idea. Reactionary political platforms rely on regressive ideas that have remained in the popular political consciousness for centuries - meanwhile, the positive development of society requires an understanding of complex things that won't be adequately expressed in such a brief format. Think economic planning, human ecology, etc.
This is a recipe for a cruel, inhumane, and backwards society. In short, bourgeois democracy.
I don't understand how that addresses campaign finance.
Even under socialism it will still be essential for the people to keep a close eye on their chosen representatives (and also other leaders such as those in the leading revolutionary party), but it will no longer be virtually impossible for those representatives to truly represent the interests of the people
How will these representatives be chosen? Well they be able to campaign and will there be a limit to how much they can spend on a campaign?
If direct democracy is what you're advocating, how can that work? Does every citizen have to spend an hour reading legislation every day then vote through an app on their phone?

What is the ideal way to deal with campaign finance?

that's fair, I hadn't really thought it through.
